Founded by Baykar Chairman of the Board Selçuk Bayraktar Fergani Space, It has successfully fulfilled its most important duty since its establishment. The company developed its first satellite with its own resources. FGN-100-D1He successfully launched and placed it into orbit. This also means that Turkey’s “Ulugh BegIt also means the first step for its own GPS system.

The first satellite was launched

FGN-100-D1 The satellite was launched on the evening of January 14, 2025 at 22.09 Turkish time (TSI) from the US Vandenberg Space Force Base with SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket, within the scope of the Transporter-12 mission. The satellite settled into orbit at 23:11 GMT, approximately an hour after launch. Fergani Space, thus Global Positioning Constellation Satellite ProjectHe has successfully taken the first step of.

It is Turkey’s largest satellite produced by a private company. 102 kg After placing the FGN-100-d1 into orbit, it transmitted telemetry data to the ground team and informed the ground team that it was healthy.

The FGN-100-d1 satellite is in Low Earth Orbit (LEO) for approx. 510 km altitude and will operate in Sun Synchronous Orbit (SSO). The satellite moves in orbit at a speed of 7.6 km/sec. He will tour the world 15 times in one day. The FGN-100-d1 satellite, which has three redundant flight computers, is intended to successfully test in-orbit operation, telemetry-telecommand communication, positioning and payload communication capabilities. During the development process, the Fergani Space engineering team successfully carried out mission-critical avionics equipment, domestic software integration, engine with green propulsion technology, structural design studies and environmental tests.

Launching, Selcuk Bayraktar and his team from the Space Observation and Control Center located at Özdemir Bayraktar Mili Technology Center. Bayraktar, in his statement “These satellites serve as constellations called low orbit constellations, both positioning as well as communication They will provide services in the field. We carried out this project entirely with our own resources. “Our satellite has now reached its orbit of 500 kilometers and has performed its first maneuvers.”

“Hopefully 100 satellites in 5 years arriving Ulugh Beg which we named global positioning “We will have developed our system with our own resources to share it with all friendly and brother geographies.”

Fergani Space is working not only on satellite constellations but also on launch systems. As we reported in our previous news, the company 50 tons weighs and 1.5 tonne payload one with the capacity launch system working on it. Regarding this issue, Bayraktar said: “While we are completing the constellation of our satellite team, we will also continue the development work on our launch vehicle, which has a weight of 50 tons and can lift 1.5 tons into orbit. May it be beneficial and auspicious for our country and nation. “I would like to express my congratulations and gratitude to all my companions who contributed day and night to our country’s space adventure.” he said. Finally, Bayraktar, this year orbital transfer vehicleHe stated that the first launch will be made for the I (YTA) project.
